New Site

Hello everyone! I know I've been saying a new site was coming for the better part of this year. But now, we have finally got it up and running. Please update your bookmarks and RSS feeds so you can continue to see my new posts and pics at www.heatherjorgensen.com.

I will still keep this blog open so you can view my older posts and pictures. Thanks to everyone who has visited me here over the last two years! I look forward to showing you more on the new site.

Cheers!

Free Holiday Music for Thanksgiving

Hello Everyone!

I hope you are enjoying your Thanksgiving. While I awoke way too early today, I saw this offer and wanted to share it with you. If you click on this link, you can download free - for the next 48 hours - 8 holiday songs from some of the greatest names in the music industry! How cool is that? I'm loving the Harry Connick, Jr. track.

I will be officially closed today as Jeremy and I attempt to cook our first real turkey. But never fear - we bought the one with its own 1 800 help hot line. 

Happy Turkey Day! 

Holiday Print + Card Orders

If the Christmas candy being sold during Halloween didn't clue me in then yesterday's trip to the deli counter - decked out in colorful lights and a menagerie of ornaments - made it quite clear. The Holiday Season is here!

Now is the time to get your Holiday shopping done and that includes your print and card orders. December 1st is the last day to place your order with guaranteed delivery on or before December 24th.

If you're interested in a portrait session for the Holidays, please call or email me soon. I have a few openings left for this year and I'm recommending that sessions be done within the next two weeks. That way, you'll have a chance to order before the deadline.

In case you're wondering what our 2008 card designs look like, here are a few examples. Each card is 5x7 and is customized with your wedding or session images either on the front cover or the inside spread.

You can place your card order by clicking here. Since each card is custom designed, please allow additional time to receive your cards for the Holiday Season.

Happy Monday!

Joe + Phyllis {Austin, TX}

I have been looking forward to Joe + Phyllis's wedding ever since their May engagement session. Jeremy and I had so much fun that we couldn't wait for their wedding. This past Saturday at the Green Pastures Restaurant, their day finally came. With friends and family flying in from both East and West Coasts, we knew we weren't the only ones feeling the amazing love and energy between this couple.

Sweet Joe + Phyllis ~ What an amazing experience! Phyllis's constant laughter and Joe's charming grins fill our memories and echo in your images. What a wonderful connection you have with your friends, your family and with each other. Thank you for allowing us to share in your day and witness those crazy moves on the dance floor. *wink*

Cheers!

Beth + Ben {Missoula, MT}

This past weekend, Jeremy and I flew up to Missoula, Montana for the wedding of Beth and Ben. We had photographed Beth's sister's wedding back in 2002 and it was wonderful to see everyone again.

Beth and Ben decided to host their wedding at a mountain ski resort - Snowbowl. Though there was no snow in sight, the mountain was alive with wildflowers, deep green pines, a rippling brook and lots of mountain bikers. They couldn't have picked a more perfect place to be married in.

Honey was a reoccurring theme for them. They included a "honey-tasting" during their ceremony and they gave out honey bears as favors to their guests. I couldn't help but continue the theme with one of the honey rings for their ring shot. ^_^

In keeping with the grape motif and color scheme of the wedding, Beth wore red shoes under her grape embroidered gown.

Beth and Ben are the cutest couple. Throughout their ceremony, they were smiling, giggling and making everyone else laugh right along with them.

Aren't they adorable?

I love it when a group suddenly bursts out into song. Beth's side treated the couple to "You Are My Sunshine" while we took group shots. Not to be outdone, Ben's side hit a home run with "Take Me Out To The Ball Game." ^_^

There was no singing with the bridal party.

But there was a lot of laughing and hugging...

...and jumping...

...and running!

Oh, and kissing! This is the fun part.

Beth and Ben's ceremony arbor was draped in bunches of gorgeous grapes and climbing vines. For future brides out there, remember: grapes can double as snacks while your taking your couples shots. ^_^ I didn't think the grapes were real at first - until they started eating them - while we were photographing them. I love these two!

At last, it was time for the reception at Snowbowl's - The Last Run Inn.

Cupcakes made for a fun cake feeding.

I think it's safe to say that everyone was having fun. ^_^

Sweet Beth and Ben: You were an absolute joy to photograph. Thanks for letting us be apart of your celebration. Enjoy your honeymoon in Banff (or as Beth says, "BAM~ff"). ^_^ Cheers!
